Apparently, this is a different book, not an expanded edition, from the original 1975 book by the same title and author.

eye-opening; an important book that explains what is wrong with maternity care in the u.s. i'd recommend this to anyone who is planning to have a baby- whether or not she is interested in natural birth. (

Epigraph

Dedication

For Molly

First words

I was born in 1944, a time when hospital birth had just been established as the norm in North America.

Imagine your ancestor, a young woman living at the edge of a forest near a broad, meandering river.
